Peckish — Stop tweets about what we eat!
So in case you haven’t noticed, blogs are so 2007 (I mean, I can’t even believe you’re reading this, are you in a cave?) These days all the cool kids twitter. But even cool kids run out of things to say, and when all else fails, most people talk about what they had for Lunch. In fact, the latest round of Forrester Research tweets contained more references to tuna sandwiches than experience strategies and knowledge management combined. So if your twitter stream is bit heavy on the mayo, and you’re more interested in meat that’s not between two slices of bread, what you need is Peckish.
With Peckish you can auto-magically filter out all food-eating references in your twitter stream. Twinkees, gone. Mr. Pibb, gone. matzah-brei, gone. Decide your twitter appetite and put your tweet intake on a diet.

Jukeboxes are great. Great, if you like libraries and socialized medicine. So… what I want is a jukebox that only plays the music *I* like. How? By paying more. Hear a song you don’t like it, outbid it. I mean, what do you want more: That fiver in your pocket, or that Vanilla Ice song haunting your waking moments for the rest of the evening?
and that where My Resolutions comes into play. Welcome in 2008 with all the
Have you ever peed on the floor and said “I wish I could save the world?” How about “I wish this would clean itself up all by itself?”Well, now both are possible, with the Peelectric Bath Mat. It works likes this: A highly conductive film lines the bathroom floor around the toilet. Renegade urine collects on the film and its electrostatic potential is converted to energy. How? (Wow, I just proposed a clean source of energy and you no longer have to clean the bathroom floor and you ask me how?) The triboelectric effect is a type of contact electrification in which certain materials become electrically charged when coming into contact with another. Happy? It’s all summed up in the simple formula, P=mc2.Once you have the electricity you can fold the energy back into your own home’s power grid. Alternately, set the Peelectric on “penalty mode” if you’re tired of people peeing on the floor. In penalty mode, the film is electrified to send a small reminder shock to Mr. Leaky.It’s
How does this happen, the wave of the future: Biometric Ass Recognition — sure there’s already fingerprint and iris scans but were talking about what shows you like T.V. not online banking. You sit, your ass is analyzed, your identity confirmed and with a few simple scans for temperature, spectrometric gas analysis and seat sweat pH, your home entertainment system knows who you are, what mood your in and whether you’re ready for Herbie the Love Bug or a marathon session of Law and Order.
There are many ways to deny flatulence (“not me! it was… the dog, your kids, a gaseous oder from that strange factory”). Or some people try to go for an oscar and act their way out of it: a blank stare into space, a mean glare at a coworker, an intense monologue (“Alan Greenspan did wear a dress but never to congressional hearings… but his underwear choices…”).
